A Street Named Coronation

The British sure know how to do soaps - not the rich and famous variety, but the poor and downtrodden. My kind of poor, never too poor for a few pints!


Coronation Street, a British soap opera set in a fictional area of Greater Manchester, welcomes The Duchess of Cornwall to the set, 4 February 2010. Her Royal Highness paid the visit to mark the programme's 50th anniversary.


The Duchess of Cornwall pulls a pint behind the bar of the Rovers Return pub during a visit to the set of the long-running British soap opera, Coronation Street, 4 February 2010. The drama is set in the fictional area of Greater Manchester called Weatherfield. There is no such street as Coronation Street. Only in our dreams!
